A Timeline of tears
The waterworks of these celebrities and public figures have had a far wider audience than yours ever will:
“Men who cry are sensitive while female criers are often labeled as overly emotional or even manipulative. “
That’s less of a double standard than the article lets on. A crying man is weak. A crying woman is scary. Both are then outcast.
the “double standard” is simply observation of gender differences.
The public reaction to crying is dependent upon the nature and cause of the tears. Tearing up when visiting the Holocaust Museum or when discussing the death, injury, or illness of a loved one is a normal reaction. Bawling like a baby over lesser things is viewed as a sign of weakness.
If this woman were prevented from fanning her face with her hands, she would have exactly ZERO acting ability.
And now, the sHrill one is “tearing up” AGAIN on the campaign trail, and all sorts of women are going to rush to comfort her in the form of votes. Blech.
Women who use tears to manipulate others set back real women for YEARS. I resent her use of tears.
